Does anyone else feel or have felt this way? I have Crohns as well and already take a tons of meds. This isn't sitting well with me.
I was just diagnosed with AFib. They want me to take liquis. I am scared too.

Depends on your stroke risk determined by your CHADS SCORE. Aspirin only has 20% protection while blood thinners have 65%. My score is high so I chose to take them. I was on aspirin for years and had a small
Stroke i never knew about in aspirin. Same bleed risk
As eliquis. Eliquis is safest of all thinners. Some side effects but they all gave that even aspirin. Only you and your doctor know what’s best. Depending on your risk

your comment makes me feel a little better thanks but this is my worry. I have Crohns diseasae. i have a 3 inch ulcer in my large colon. what scares me if one day that thing starts to bleed while on eliquis. i dont want to bleed to death before getting help. i know im being a little silly about this but i just worry unnecessarily sometimes.

That's a valid concern. I assume your doctor knows about the Crohns? Please have a discussion about your concerns... anything like that should be addressed.
